Fly, fly midnight, Fly in secret depths of shadow, Void and formless without substance You must flee for your safety from the coming daylight Soon it will come to burn your leather wings Run, midnight, run with all your might but There is no escape for you are doomed to fall I hear your wings thrashing Sunlight has found you, sunlight does hold you Writhing in its arms, You are shadow fading Void and formless without substance You begin to fade Farewell midnight, sleep unawakened forgotten night.
